Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

You stop paying attention to big things and focus on your child. "Think of the children" starts to work more because you think less about everything else.
Also women who are independent tend to be more liberal than men, but women who are dependant on their husband tend to be more conservative. Have a child, quit your job, adopt your husband's political opinions because what's good for him is good for you.
I cannot wrap my head around not thinking for yourself even in that scenario. But I'm an autist so maybe that's me thing
That's just one possible suggestion on my part. I was reading a reddit thread yesterday where women were sharing their post partum depression. "I was so anxious that I couldn't carry my baby through doorways. I thought I would smash their head against the doorframe. When hubby left for work we just stayed in whatever room he left us in. I had to lay my baby down and leave the door open to see them to use the toilette. I only changed him on the floor because I had visions of him falling off the coffee table and smashing his head open on the carpet."
Like, I can see that kind of psychosis leaving a mark. Changing who you are and what you believe, if you left Fox news on while you were too anxious to walk through doorways and I am sure sleep deprived, maybe thats all it takes. Or your husband starts listening to talk radio and you don't have the energy to argue.
Or maybe again it's about money. People get their shit together because now they have a kid and then they have money and start voting to keep it and fuck everyone else.
Not everyone, certainly, not even most, most people don't change their politics over time. but over time the drift goes to the right.
